>Gen 7 >still no legitimate way to obtain trade evolutions

I wonder why they are called trade evolutions.

You know if you get a Graveler on GTS it will evolve

What does the T in GTS stand for?

and steelix can be found in a lot of games

just trade with friends or are you too much of a shut in

>>29614967
Because trade evolutions are a bad idea. I just want to finish the game that I paid for! Why should I be forced to interact with other players who might screw me over?

Wild Kingdra in gen 5 tho, that counts right?

It's fine if you have two games different games from the same generation (e.g. X and Alpha Sapphire).

>put Graveler on GTS and request a legendary Pokemon
>turn off game, switch to the other game, find your Graveler on the GTS and trade the legendary for it
>watch your Graveler evolve, then switch back to the first game

>use Pokemon Bank to move Pokemon around between games afterwards

The worst case scenario is that someone snipes your Pokemon that you want to evolve, but you still end up with a legendary so it's not that bad. The only time this may be an issue is if you want to evolve a shiny Pokemon.

>>29614925

At least if you have a friend to help you evolve it, it will get boosted exp and its always hasty IIRC so its decent for in game.

Oh no, now I have to remove the everstone and deposit it in the gts again.

>Not having multiple consoles and games from the same gen to get trade evos

I have friends I can get trade evos with, but I don't want to bother them every time I want to evolve something. So I'm glad to do this

>>29615631
I had this for all systems bar 3DS, i just never bought another 3ds and it feels too dumb and a waste of money to do it now.
Maybe when switch comes out 3ds will be cheaper

I was going to just get some cheap 3DS on sale to do this, but then the circle pad on my Old 3DS broke right around the time the New 3DS came out. So now my old is the backup for trades

And that's how i got my second 3DS

>>29615986
I have friends that play Pokemon. Friends that don't.

But most importantly I have two of every handheld so I don't need to waste their time trading

This is how I got through Soul Silver when I had no other Gen IV games to evolve my Seadra and Scyther. It was so great

That's different. Nothing is stopping you from leveling up except yourself.
A trade requires two people unless you buy the game twice. And I cannot trust other people with my pokémon.

MOOOOOODS

I don't mind trade evolutions when the games first come out, it's fun to have an excuse to trade with friends.
It's when I'm replaying the game 5+ years later and everyone I know's sold there GBAs, and I've long ago lost my link cable anyway, that it gets annoying.

>>29615871
Gen 2 was fucking prime for the back and forth that you could do between gens.

>play Stadium 1 with all the potential cross-gen exploits.

I wouldn't mind an alternate method to evolve trade Pokemon. Even if it was something locked to the post-game, it's better than nothing.

i dont get it. just make ur friends play pokemon like threaten them or make fun of them for their obvious flaws or something its easy peer pressure

>>29618032

If you're a kid you need to make friends and trade with them. And if you don't trust them they shouldn't be your friends.

If you're an adult calling up someone at 3 in the morning you're the dick and GF has done nothing wrong. Like holy crap, you should get a job like the rest of us and just buy a second copy and system. Unless you literally have wasted your life just playing videogames or having a teenage pregnancy you should have the ability to easily buy 2 so you don't have to bother people in the freaking morning who actually work.

>>29615111
it's to sell more games you retard
.
Same reason why you have to have both games to get every mon

same reason they remake the already almost duplicate games into a third duplicate game

M O N E Y

>>29626952
No you won't. You'll put an everstone on it.
